Husband Spent Wife's Entire Savings for Nursery Room Behind Her Back, and He Believes He Had the Right
Husband spent money meant for the nursery room behind his wife's back, but he doesn't see why she is upset.
Quarantine time and the coronavirus weren't easy for everyone. During this period, many people faced job loss, loss of loved ones, loss of will, and various other difficulties.
In this particular case, a husband and wife lost one of their apartments; they had to sell many other things as well. The husband lost his job, and they had to give up some of their 'expensive habits' due to a lack of money. In general, things are not going smoothly for them, and many compromises have had to be made that are still ongoing.
However, this period also brought them some beautiful news: they are expecting a baby. After everything that has happened, and with the baby on the way, the wife naturally wants to save as much money as possible.
Additionally, she is the only income earner. But despite their shared desire to prepare everything before the baby arrives, the husband may not be fully aware of their current financial situation.
He spent a large amount of money that was supposed to be used for buying essentials for the baby and furnishing the nursery room. That wouldn't be a problem if his reasons weren't a bit selfish.
Instead, he spent all that money on his massage sessions; apparently, he really needed them, and all of this was done without his wife's knowledge. So, when she accidentally found out, she became very upset and demanded that he return the money.
However, he believes that since they are married, he has the right to spend it as he wishes, regardless of who earned it. Here is their entire story.
